"What? It's actually the Imperial Teacher? How is that possible ~? "
Xue Yan Tuo Tribe, Central Army Tent. After hearing the barbarian man say that Wu Jie was the one Xieli had sent after, everyone in the tent was shocked and exclaimed in disbelief.
That was Wu Jie! The only Martial Grandmaster in the prairie, an almost invincible existence. The reason why they had not dared to rebel against Xieli all these years, besides the fact that Xieli had a strong army, was because they were all afraid of Wu Jie!
Thinking back to the time when Wu Jie had challenged all the masters of the prairie and broken through to the Martial Grandmaster Realm in one fell swoop, everyone's hearts were inevitably shrouded in fear. Just imagine, if Wu Jie had personally led an elite Wolf Cavalry to attack their tribe, with Wu Jie leading the charge, their tribe's army would not have been able to resist for even a moment and would have been utterly defeated!
At this time, hearing the barbarian man say that Wu Jie had betrayed them and Xieli had sent troops to pursue them, these tribal chiefs were pleasantly surprised, but at the same time, they felt that all of this was somewhat unreal!
Why would Wu Jie betray them? He was the Imperial Teacher of the prairie, second only to one person!
"Hmph! Why is it impossible? "
Barren man snorted coldly, interrupting the whispers of the crowd. He said in a low voice, "Our Imperial Tutor's origins are unknown. It is said that he was brought back by Princess Shu Yan from some unknown place. When he was brought back, his entire body was charred black and he was on the verge of death. If it wasn't for the Old Imperial Tutor, he would have been dead! However, although he was rescued, he lost his original memories!
Later, when the old Imperial Tutor passed away, Wu Jie became the new Imperial Tutor of the Prairie. Because of this, he attracted a large number of challenges from masters from various tribes. These people were all outstanding talents of their respective tribes, but Wu Jie only needed three months to defeat all of them. More importantly, his strength also broke through from the Qi Transformation Realm all the way to the Martial Grandmaster Realm. From then on, no one in the Prairie dared to challenge him!
But think about it, a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator breaking through to the Martial Grandmaster Realm in only three months, is this possible? Even if Wu Jie was a genius, it was impossible for him to use only three months to cross the threshold of the Martial Dao that ordinary cultivators would never be able to cross in their lifetime. What does this mean? This meant that before he was brought back by Princess Shu Yan, he was already a Great Grandmaster!
On our prairie, there hasn't been a Martial Grandmaster for nearly a hundred years, so this Wu Jie's identity is definitely not simple! At least, he would definitely not be loyal and devoted to Xieli! It wouldn't be strange if he suddenly turned traitor! “
After listening to the barbarian's analysis, everyone could not help but fall into deep thought.
In fact, regarding Wu Jie's identity and origins, no one present was very clear. Throughout the entire prairie, very few people knew of this matter.
Qigong Heli was silent for a moment, he could not help but say, "But these are only our guesses, there is no proof. If the Imperial Advisor is still in the palace, if we rashly raise the army to resist Xieli, wouldn't we be asking for trouble?"
"Yes! Imperial Preceptor is an expert of Great Grandmaster realm, if he did not betray us and Xieli sent him to lead his troops to deal with us, who among us Tiele tribes can stop him? "
One of the chieftains agreed.
The barbarian man smiled confidently and said, "Although I don't have direct evidence, I still have some confidence! Think about it, Xieli's natural disposition is suspicious, those who can be put in important positions by him, like Ashina Sheerchu, Ashina Simo, are all loyal and devoted to him, it is impossible for them to betray Xieli! Only Wu Jie, this person's origin is unknown, and he is extremely mysterious. Usually, he ignores Xieli's orders, but Xieli needs to rely on his superior martial strength to subdue the prairie tribes, so he has always turned a blind eye to Wu Jie.
Maybe he suddenly recovered his previous memories and did not want to work for Xieli anymore? That's why he ran away! Think about it, with Xieli's temperament, how could he let a Great Grandmaster escape? Moreover, he went south to the Tang Empire? He will definitely send people to kill him! Moreover, the people I sent to the palace also found an important piece of news, perhaps it can prove that Wu Jie has already left the palace! "
"What news?"
Everyone couldn't wait to ask.
Although they were very dissatisfied with Xieli and wanted to rebel against him, none of them were willing to face Wu Jie, because a Great Grandmaster was really too terrifying. The Wolf Riders under Xieli were the elites of the elites, if these Wolf Riders were combined with a Great Grandmaster like Wu Jie, they would be an invincible existence!
Although there were many tribes and warriors in the prairie, no one could stop this almost invincible combination!
Don't underestimate the influence of a Great Grandmaster expert on a battle. Although a Great Grandmaster expert was still a human and could not fight an entire army by himself, if an army was led by a Great Grandmaster expert, the battle prowess of the army would definitely increase by several times. This was the effect of one plus one greater than two!
Therefore, the tribal chiefs of the Tie Le tribes all hoped that the barbarian man's guess was true, because once Wu Jie left, Xieli would have one less trump card in his hands, and they would have more confidence in rebelling against Xieli!
"Princess Shu Yan's tent has been sealed off by Xieli's people! From yesterday morning until today, Princess Shu Yan has not taken a single step out of her tent! "
The barbarian man smiled and told everyone a seemingly unrelated piece of news. The tribal chiefs of the Tie Le tribes all frowned and began to think about the connection between this matter and Wu Jie's escape from the palace. The barbarian man did not give them more time to think, instead continuing:
"As everyone knows, Princess Shu Yan and the Imperial Teacher have always had a close relationship, and Princess Shu Yan once travelled the Central Plains in her early years, disappearing for several years. When she reappeared in the prairie, it was with the severely injured and unconscious Wu Jie. With the relationship between Wu Jie and her, now that Xieli has placed her under house arrest, how could Wu Jie not find Xieli to reason with?
Therefore, I guess that before Wu Jie was brought back by Princess Shu Yan, he must have already known Princess Shu Yan, and he is most likely from the Central Plains! Moreover, the reason why Princess Shu Yan is currently under house arrest may be because Xieli knows that Wu Jie has betrayed the Imperial Court and does not want Princess Shu Yan to follow him. Or perhaps, Xieli wants to use Princess Shu Yan as a hostage to threaten Wu Jie in the future!
Regardless of which possibility it is, Wu Jie is definitely no longer in the Imperial Court. At this time, the prairie is filled with undercurrents, and Xieli is surrounded by enemies. This is the best time for us to rise up. If everyone continues to hesitate, our Tie Le Ten Tribes will no longer have a chance to rise up in the prairie! "
Hearing this, everyone could not help but think of the oppression and humiliation their tribes had suffered over the years when they submitted to Xieli. The eyes of some of the less shrewd tribal chiefs instantly turned red. The Tongluo tribal chief, Abu Can, clenched his fists and took the lead to speak:
"Brother Yinan is right! Xieli's days are numbered, and he has lost the hearts of the people. If we do not rise up against him now, we will not have a chance in the future! The Tie Le Ten Tribes have been oppressed by the Ashina Family for so many years, it is time to rebel! My Tongluo Tribe is willing to rise up! " “
"My Wild Ancient Tribe is also willing to rise up with Brother Yinan!"
"My Pugu Tribe is also willing to rise up!"
Immediately, a few other tribal chiefs of the Tie Le Ten Tribes expressed their views.
Most of these tribes were located in the north of the prairie and were closer to Xue Yantuo's tribe. The remaining tribes that had not expressed their views were mostly closer to Qigian's tribe. The uprising was initiated by Yinan, and since Qigian He Li did not say anything, they naturally could not express their views!
"Brother Yinan's analysis is correct. After the prophecy of frost on the prairie is realized, Xieli's prestige in the prairie is bound to be greatly reduced. Coupled with the fact that the State Preceptor has most likely left the Imperial Court, this is indeed the best time for us to rise up!"
Seeing that Qigian He Li had no intention of speaking, a middle-aged man sitting below Qigian He Li spoke: "However, the Tang Imperial Court has been eyeing the prairie for a long time. Once the Tie Le Ten Tribes rise up, the prairie is bound to fall into endless internal strife. According to Brother Yinan's plan, you want to borrow Tuli's hand to lead the Tang army up north to attack Xieli. Isn't this the same as leading the wolf into the house? At that time, the Tang army will not only attack Xieli, but also us. I'm afraid the vast prairie will completely fall into the hands of the Tang Empire! "
This man's name was Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva, and he was the current tribal chief of the Huihe Tribe. Among the ten tribes of Tie Le Ten Tribes, Huihe Tribe's strength was in the upper tier with hundreds of thousands of tribe members, second only to Qigian and Xue Yantuo Tribes.
If forced to "choose a side", Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva would definitely be willing to stand on the side of Qigian He Li. However, in reality, Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva would not easily choose a side between Qigian He Li and Yinan. After all, his Huihe Tribe was ranked third among the ten tribes of Tie Le Ten Tribes. Only by remaining neutral and watching the tigers fight could he maximize his benefits!
Hearing this, everyone then remembered that Yinan said he wanted to let Tuli go and then wait for him to lead the Tang army back to the prairie to attack Xieli. All the tribal chiefs once again cast their gaze on Yinan.
Indeed, with their current strength, even if they joined forces with the other tribes of the prairie who were dissatisfied with Xieli, it would still be difficult for them to contend against Xieli. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they were defeated by Xieli. Using Tuli as a chess piece to lead the Tang army into the prairie to attack Xieli was indeed the only feasible method they could use to defeat Xieli. However, if Xieli was a tiger, then wasn't the Tang Empire a wolf?
After defeating Xieli, the strength of the tribes of the prairie was bound to be greatly reduced. At that time, facing the wolf of the Tang Empire, how should they, the Tie Le Ten Tribes, deal with it?
"Ha! Bodhisattva, you're wrong! I'm not leading the wolf into the house. I'm driving the tiger to devour the wolf!! "
Yinan took a deep look at Yao Luo Ge Bodhisattva, then sneered and said with awe-inspiring killing intent.
At this moment, his entire body was overflowing with domineering aura. His eyes were bursting with dazzling light, making people unnaturally believe that he was not joking!
Qiya He Li's eyes flashed. He knew Yinan's ambition. At this moment, it was completely exposed. His ambition was not only to seek revenge on Xieli, he wanted to be the king of the prairie and even the ruler of the world!
"I do want to borrow the hands of the Tang Empire to help us get rid of Xieli. However, if the Tang Empire wants to touch the prairie, it's impossible!"
Yinan took a deep breath, looked at everyone and continued, "Think about it carefully. Looking at history, for the past thousand years, the dynasties of the Central Plains have been replaced. Even if there were a few wise monarchs in the middle, the prairie still belonged to us prairie people. Even if the emperors of the Central Plains used all the power of the country, they could not completely control the prairie!
In the past, Qin Shihuang was an unparalleled hero. Although the general Meng Tianbei was more than seven hundred miles away from the Xiongnu, the Qin Empire could only look at the prairie and sigh. In the end, they still built the Great Wall. Because the prairie was vast and boundless, once the armies of the Central Plains went deep into the prairie, it was difficult to get out. Qin Shihuang could only use the Great Wall as the boundary to secure the territory!
After Qin, the Emperor of Han was also a man of great talent and bold vision. Back then, the Han Empire was rich, ambitious, and capable. Therefore, the Emperor of Han also wanted to touch the prairie. Wei Qing went to Henan and Huo Qubing went to Hexi. Although they tore two pieces of fertile land from the Xiongnu Empire, the Emperor of Han could only stop there.
After the Emperor of Han, the Western Han and later the Eastern Han, although they could protect the Western Region and pursue the desert, their method of dealing with the nomadic tribes like the Xiongnu was to move inwards. As for the real control of the prairie, no one in the Han Empire dared to mention it. Because to them, the prairie was a land of death. If they wanted to use the power of the country to fight the prairie to the death, the only outcome would be the destruction of the country!
Even wise rulers like Qin Shihuang and the Emperor of Han could not do anything about the prairie. Do you all think that Li Shimin is stronger than Qin Shihuang and Hanwu? After we defeat Xieli, this vast grassland will all be our territory! If the Great Tang army dares to make a move against us, we will have enough space to deal with them and kill them all on the prairie!
I think that the final result is very likely that Li Shimin will admit that we are in control of the prairie. As long as we do not invade the Great Tang, I believe that Li Shimin will not fight to the death with us! When the Great Tang army retreats and leaves the prairie, the entire prairie will be under the control of our Tiele Ten Tribes. No one will dare to bully us and our tribes will have the most fertile land. What are you all still hesitating for? Opportunity knocks but once, it will not come again! "
It had to be said that Yannan had definitely made sufficient preparations for today's secret meeting. Otherwise, this fellow would not have been able to speak so eloquently. Not only did he reveal the secret between Wu Jie and Ashina Shuyan, he even specially researched the history of the war between the Central Plains and the tribes of the prairie, scaring the tribal chiefs of the Tiele Ten Tribes into a daze!
His words were truly too provocative. At the same time, it completely dispelled the last trace of doubt in the hearts of the Tiele Ten Tribes' tribal chiefs.
Tongluo Tribe Chief Abu Can said emotionally:
"Brother Yannan is right! Opportunity knocks but once, it will not come again! 100,000 Tongluo Tribe is willing to follow Yannan Chief to overthrow Xieli! “
"80,000 Wild Ancient Tribe is willing to follow Yannan Chief to revolt!"
"80,000 Bogu Tribe is also willing to revolt!"
… …
"200,000 Huihe Tribe is also willing to follow everyone to overthrow Xieli!"
In the end, even Huihe Tribe Chief Yao Luoge Bodhisattva expressed his stance.
"… 200,000 elite troops of my Qiyan Tribe are ready to fight with Xieli at any time!"
Qiyan Heli knew that he could not remain silent anymore. Even though he knew that Yannan was ambitious and would definitely make other moves after overthrowing Xieli, he had to express his stance now. Otherwise, he would be committing suicide in the Tiele Ten Tribes.
